To'rzl/ iiflrom it may concern,.-

Be it known that we, JAMES G, CLARK and LoUis' F'. MEHDER, citizens' of the United States, residing at Oshkosh', inthe` county of Winnebago and State ofAWisconsin, have invented new, and `useful Improvements in Pockets, of which the following is a specification.

'Our invention relates to pockets for garments, and especially to those which are -sewed upon the exterior, as upon overalls, Jackets, and shirts, such as are sometlmes called patchepockets."

Our invention relates to a side-entrancev watch-pocket, the object being to provide a,

safety-pocket. A workingman often throws his jacket down hastily and hastily picks it up by taking hold oi' any part ofthe garment.v

' With our invention the watch will not spill in vention.

any' positionby the chain.

and .yetfnnay be withdrawn VOur invention also provides a pencilpocket in combination 'with the watchpocket, both pockets being formed by the same patch.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 e represents an. outsi front view of our in- Fig. 2 is avertical section on the line A B, and Fig.`3 is a horizontal section on theline.-.

Referring to the drawings by numerals,2

Y 'represents` the garment, and 3 represents the lof the front side of the pocket for admission of the watch 8, secured to a buttonhole of the garment (not shown),4v by the chain .9. In-

. wardly-extending points 1.0 and 11 are provided by stitching the patch to the garment with one or more rows of stitches 12 12 andl -13 13'., thus closing 0H a portion of the pocket above and below the opening and forming a.

diagonal inwardly-extending barrier toV prevent the watch from falling through the opening 7. Each set of stitching. is {p1-med in the shape o f a triangle. The angleof the upper point 10 is preferably made more acutevthan tha angle of the lower point 11,-as shown iin Fig. l; vIthe garment is held bottom upward'or atany inverted angle, the watch drop into the top of thepocket and egress be prevented by the'incline 12 andthe point -10.

When the workman'fstoop's forward, the

watch will shift and bear against the-incline 13', and thereby be prevented from falling f through the opening 7. The .watch may,

however, atl any time "be I-'e'move'd by means ofthe chain 9.-

Cross-stitches are provided at 14 to' form the bottom of the pencil-pocket. Having thus described our invention, what we-claim is- 1. In-a garment, the combination with a .'patchsuitably secured thereto, yproducing a pocket, said pocket having a side opening, of an upper and a lower triangular set of stitches extending inwardly only .from the side providedfwith said opening, said setsof'stitchesproducing a pointed structure and leaving the entire ends and opposite side of the pocket free, said triangular-sets of stitches overhanging portions of theup er and lowe/r ends, the upper set of. stitches eing formed ata more acute angle than the lower set.

.2. Ina arment, apocket-provided witha I vertical si' e having an entrance through'said side contracting 1n width toward the lnterlor of thepocket, and with receptacles formed above and belowthe entrance.

3. In a garment, a pocket provided with a side entrance thereto, and expanding in width above and below the said entrance.

In testimony whereof Weaiiix our signatures. in presence of twosubscribing wit- 'JAMES G. CLARK. y Louis F. MEHDER.
